The next day came almost too soon. The night had been quiet with only a bit of clamor that had happened closer to midnight when Klarian had opened up for about three hours for business. Upon waking, everyone felt as refreshed as a daisy after a gentle shower. Everyone shared in a filling breakfast for free that consisted of several slices of toast with an egg in the middle, two plates of bacon, a plate of mini sausages, a bowl of mixed fruits, veggies and berries, and their choice of drink being milk, water, orange juice or a dark mixture resembling coffee.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uC4KqkFGP

After eating they made their way to the battle grounds, not having any incidents on the way there from the still sleeping towns people. When they arrived, the hardened ground had been cleared of obstacles except for a few rocks. There were ten stone columns in a wide circle. Outside this circle stands five stone seats, similar to bleachers one might see in a gymnasium. The group approached and spread out to look around the seemingly barren area of vegetation. "This is a pretty roomy setup." Ivan commented as he stepped inside the wall-less circle.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqxTgJu12k
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqoCIVjS8K
Klarian smirked with a small shrug. "Well of course it is. Gotta have room for full grown dragons and other large beasts to move around." He explained with a helpfulness to his tone as he walked with Ivan.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6AngNaWIB
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6lGx3kldy
"Oh," Ivan looked to Klarian as Amber walked by them. "So all participants take part because they want to?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPO3lfQCtb
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz1hKctNQe
"Given the lack of walls to keep anyone from running, that would make sense. Why else have an arena for battle without walls if you didn't ask people if they wanted to join in?" Amber questioned and Ivan nodded.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93rU7ym8kg
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWkYKRHJvw
Klarian chuckled as Amber then began to hum a tune that told many tales of war between humans and dragons for a metal throne of swords. "Something like that, one could say." He took a step forwards and folded his arms as he looked around then up at the brightening sky. While Amber was walking around humming her tune, Ivan noticed faint markings on one of the pillars so made his way over to where Faerthurin was to see if there was anything similar.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1zcprn84p
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwKKUUW6Ei
During this, Kross admired one of the columns carvings while Jaylen caught a few more winks of sleep's in his messy hair. "Must have had a steady hand and put in a lot of time." He quietly said to himself before stretching and walking over to another one of the columns. Oin rubbed his chin as he surveyed the area. "Hmm...something feels off." He eyed one of the columns then looked to Jeminya who oddly Shiloh had decided to keep company currently. She ran her hand over the column with her face twisted in pondering. "You sense something off as well?" the dwarf asked as he made his way over to her.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYhybyXgkl
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6c6xigI3y
Jeminya nodded. "Yes, but I'm not sure what exactly. There is something here so I think keeping our guard up is wise." She kept her voice quiet while glancing over to a relaxed Klarian.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZuxVIEhPY
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWBL4fLbQx
"Agreed. There's something odd about these stones but I can't quite place what."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Jy0c1KHM
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTZgeOx8f4
On the other side of the battle grounds, Ivan was checking out a column as Faerthurin was a couple pillars away with Lucid hopping about the top of the several foot tall pieces of stonework. Ivan circled the stone structure as his face twisted in curiosity. "Hmm this is unique." He eyed and touched the carvings as he stepped around the column again to see that it did circle around. He went to the one to his right and also checked it. "Same carvings..." he looked to the dark elf that was now a column away to his right. "Hey Rin, can you tell me if these are magical?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ7Z0vJ1Bp
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUf4pShPJB
"Huh?" Faerthurin looked and made her way over to Ivan with Lucid following and looking down on them, his head twisting left and right. "Now what are you asking about magic?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC22XeHQ8H0
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DuxdZDNTA
"These marks right here." He pointed out the series of carvings which were gibberish to him.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMUelpBgm9
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNVsthwsUd
Faerthurin's eyes widened as she eyed the marks over. How in the heck did I miss those? she wondered as she made her way around the column to see what Ivan had before swiftly making her way back to the pillar she had previously been boredly looking over. They match... she looked over to the left, right and behind her at the surrounding columns. I bet they also having matching symbols.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoov90Vfbi
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXMG5PNOrE
"So are they used in magic?" Ivan inquired after a minute of silence.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqyUSOtglE
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8gdHFw1jD
She looked the carvings over closer and nodded. "Yes, they are used in containment spells and enchantments to hold things in." She released a breath and folded her arms as she looked up the tall pillar. "There is a magic inside this one and likely the others as well, given how they share the same markings." She looked around and then to Ivan. "Which explains the lack of walls if this magic is indeed containment."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCBCmuISYG
Around one of the seating structures to the east walked Jalerom and Rose, checking out the way it appeared to be carved mostly out of stone with some wood used for some of the sitting area's. "How long do you think it took them to carve these?" the half elf inquired with a gaze to the party then to Rose when she spoke up.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqHEYizp3i
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3tt6SOL3d
"Probably quite a bit of time. Say maybe a few days even with magic for all of them together." Rose put her hands behind her head as she spoke and looked up while turning her head to look towards a different set of seats. "Say...does any of this seem...a little off to you?" she questioned slowly before setting her sights on Jalerom.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44vaKDOkja
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj2D369XDR
He shrugged, "not really or well, maybe a little but not too much. I mean, this is another race's land after all."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGI9PKj4ql
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43XQGBOuJL
"But why have an arena or area for battle without any solid walls? That puts the spectators at risk."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2UX9bCx1c
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhPKWmSQ5F
"Maybe..." Jalerom pondered as he folded his arms and turned his head down some. "...Perhaps they know some kind of shield spells that are maintainable for the length of a standard fight?" he looked up to meet her kind orbs. "Maybe there's magic in place like what was on those collars back in the Directian dungeons."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lx6CknllX
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOCnkZOUyG
Rose sighed and lowered her arms. "Do you think they are still going to try enslaving us?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8KmXW8CXW
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Grd81M1gn
The rogue shook his head. "I don't think so." He lifted his arms over his head and stretched. "So long as negotiations don't fall through, we should be perfectly safe and if things come to worse...we will just fight our way out as we run."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66YvlisFJ5
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmXzpsSOMh
Moments later, loud footfalls echoed and the ground trembled lightly before gradually growing stronger. As the one responsible neared closer, Jaylen hissed which drew curiosity from Kross as Jalerom, Faerthurin, Oin and Lucid looked towards the north west. "And I think we are about to maybe meet the owner." Jalerom commented. This brought Rose to look at him before following his line of sight, waiting anxiously.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC1NAPRzSp
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjaJZJHGTK
Jeminya and Ivan were the next to look over. "Is this guy a giant?" Ivan quietly asked as he positioned his footing to stay up as the ground shook again.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO3pYjpiAN
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFaS4JQnR9
"Doubtful," Jeminya answered as she folded her arms and felt a nuzzle at her right by Starjay, making her by habit to gently stroke his nose with her left hand. "Given how we've mainly only seen reptile type creatures, I don't think we'll run into giants. There aren't even any giant slaves after all."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ44OStFd2
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcUtBYe0hp
Rose's eyes widened as the owner neared closer. "What a magnificent dragon but...how did he get one of those?" she whispered aloud to herself.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBgLeJXGOL
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DG7SEHKXj
Jalerom turned his head towards her. "What was that? Do you know about black dragons?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVedlqPhYyx
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWLLiboPNo
She nodded with her eyes remaining on the beast. "They are beasts that enjoy their solitude and being alone except during mating season. Their breath weapons are unlike any others."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S55IrkycR
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c3WtNxWuD
"What is their breath weapon?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWICrBbEJGK
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj0dIKwThV
"...I think I recall it being able to paralyze a target caught in their smoke." She replied flatly as her gaze then shifted to its rider.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAHOyzkq3a
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRG0pFFNZO
Kross, Amber, Jaylen and Shiloh were the last to finally spy the new person. On the black dragon's back was an armored man, dressed somewhat in the style of a knight or general of an army. On his back flexed out wings of a dragon. His feet were not clad in armored boots but more the shinguard's came down over top of his scaled feet. The man, after the dragon stopped, straightened his back and his yellow scales could be seen on the tops of his feet, clawed hands, neck and around his face. His slit yellow eyes scrutinized the mixed group spread out. "Hmm...this is an interesting mix of creatures, now isn't it?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rM38lfiYx
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ar3ON3XTf
Klarian stepped forwards unfraid of the man. "Good morning, Devion." He came to a stop before giving a polite, yet sweeping, bow. "How are you this fine morning?" he inquired with a tone dripping with charm as he rose from the bow and flashed the armored dragon a grin.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP78PvydwZ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ3Vjz9YkS
Devion dismounted as the dragon sat down. "I'm doing fine...half-breed." He flapped his wings a bit before landing as carefully as his words had been spoken. "Let's cut to the point, Klarian. How do you plan on any of these people getting your collateral freed from my hold?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPzNYwZ7C0
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFqqMRc8yY
Klarian opened his mouth to speak. "Excuse me, Devion was it?" he closed his mouth and looked to an approaching Kross. He watched the ranger with confusion. "We have come to ask you how exactly these battle grounds operate." Kross stated while motioning around the area, now standing beside Klarian. "We would also like to make a deal with you to settle dear Klarian's debt."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1lH66gNRE
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJAWmzCjOw
Devion stayed silent with his eyes set on the saurian. "...How much do you wish to settle it for?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAZqlWfyJp
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdTJHymwXI
Kross gave a confident smirk. "Down to zero and to have his brother set free."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwx1L6Lj9h
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy1mkDBheb
Silence filled the air around them as Kross and Devion stared each other down. After several moments, the air finally was broken. "The battle grounds work like any other arena intended for combat. Participants are pitted against one another and the last one left that is able to fight, wins." Devion then folded his arms. "He owes me at least seven thousand gold in failed bets." He shifted his weight to one side with a cocked hip. "I don't see it being settled especially," he motioned towards the group, "not from such a mixed party such as this miserable one."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaYglNCjtk
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbSEd6hRSr
Kross closed his eyes as his resting lips curled into a cocky smirk. "Heheheheh," he took a breath and opened his eyes to lock with Devion. "Try us."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoifobBm56
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibJrPzqH29
The armored dragon man motioned at Kross with an curious look. "What makes you so sure?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FKC9PWUlL
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u7ptQOLxo
"Because we've all faced many terrors and horrors before arriving here. I doubt you can throw anything at us that we can't handle."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1ree3MnRI
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy1I60c2sf
Silence filled the air once more as Devion pondered this, rubbing his chin. His sharp orbs scanned the group one more time before resting on Kross. "Alright, I will accept your bet and here are the terms of our little deal." He cleared his throat. "If you win then I will erase his debt and release his brother, free as a bird. If you lose then his debt remains on the books and his brother in my cells." He approached Kross as he unfolded his arms. "Plus your party becomes part of my pets to use in combat as I see fit." He stopped in front of the ranger and offered a hand. "Do we have a deal?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikSVlfsUHt
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aP4IYZ2bX
"If we do this deal, some might not see their fathers or sisters again..." Amber quietly commented with a little bit of worry.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPGhoZJjmN
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZH41BTGWY
Kross narrowed his gaze. "Think carefully on this." Faerthurin sternly warned.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJYahiPQ2A
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq1ikFXG9I
"...Deal." Kross took Devion's hand, giving a firm shake.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFDtyyF3hy
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtpTxh7cHZ
Devion chuckled smugly as they each released the others hand. "This should be fun. It's been some time since I last had fresh meat to use in battle." The black dragon loudly yawned from boredom and laid down outside the columns for a nap. "I am feeling generous so I will allow your group to pick two fighters to participate."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBBM3SqUFC
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG10j2TAtL
"Thank you for your kindness." Kross turned and made his way to the center while the others came to meet him. "Okay, so which two of us wants to fight against whatever he might send out?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMy1xt5hOE
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFcpGsocHL
"That really depends on what he'll be using. Will it be his mount or something he has yet to bring out?" Faerthurin calmly questioned in her matter-of-fact way.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlNZQFmM1y
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelmc6UM1PX
"Good point..." Kross turned his head towards Devion. "Hey! What kind of beast are you planing to use?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG8KSz4HYy
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfFJKdh67S
The armored man stood taller with his arms refolding. "Nothing bad...just my 'special' pet for such a special occasion."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiuqw5CzhI
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDrSonVloz
"Well that was sure helpful." Jalerom sarcastically responded.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah8BZiD32y
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtBM8nMAUx
"At least we know he isn't going to use his black dragon." Ivan pointed out both assured yet concerned simultaneously. "So there's one good thing."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgYQOF93B5
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAsqZfINov
Faerthurin sighed. "That still doesn't exactly help us decide who would stand a chance at victory."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeAdBWJimK
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyHW6oir1j
Oin cleared his throat. "If we must simply outlast his pet, then perhaps I have a suggestion. How about Amber and myself take this fight?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WDygwnTsE
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBgvBApvIs
"Oh yea, we do have the best armor." Amber perked up.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMOJ3zHJ5D
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYysfPlOUj
"Also we both have a decent track record of taking damage longer than the rest of you." Oin finished before looking over from Amber to the red horned queen.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYeRHIfBtF
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBG54XTzY6
Jeminya huffed lightly as she put her hands on her hips. "Well excuse us for not being a walking cannonball." She retorted with a small smirk forming from Oin's response.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8JSAZfNNA
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tb7dkRqJP
Oin grumbled and looked away from their leader. "Anyways," he looked to Amber. "Are you ready to go?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUpgA9Qu87
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ552YQM8KTX
"Ready as ever." Amber nodded firmly with determination. "Let's reunite this split family!"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwVxqgdP5t
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicq7lojk1a
Devion yawned while shifting his weight to his other hip and unfolding his arms. "Are you lot done deciding on which two will represent your fate?" the party turned and nodded with Oin and Amber stepping up. "Good," he motioned to the seating. "The rest of you may sit and watch your freedom slip away."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjrKLs0oCn
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSaG6C3q8D
"Good luck Amber! I know you got this!" Ivan encouraged as he quickly gave her a tight hug.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31zHGK0efe
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGBbHj8thz
"Thanks!" the golden dragon replied confidently with her own return of the embrace.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1KtQ688eD
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1HjmbUkyW
"Come on Ivan, you can hug your love interest after she wins." Rose called out and Ivan broke the hug, and gave a quick wave as he ran over to the stone bleachers to join the rest of the party. Once it was just he and the duo, Devion looked back over his shoulder and gave a whistle. The black dragon shifted its tail and thumped it hard on the ground once before going back to sleep.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dlQ09VPa8
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDLQDuIW68
Amber stretched her arms above her head before twisting her body left then right. "This feels like the first fire elves trial." She looked to Oin as she brought her arms down. "What do you think we're facing?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3JeKlR88Z
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SUm0witkY
"No idea but if it follows the same rules, even if killing is allowed, we just need to incapacitated it and we win. Shouldn't be too hard with my spells and your size." Oin answered as his neck cracked when he tilted his head left and right.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce4RTJIqbI
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5SxplvvIu
She nodded with a smile. "Yea, there isn't anything we can't do when we buff me up, hehe."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuiVJln2NS
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF7w8odliU
Shortly after that, the ground lightly trembled as a large beast came into view. It was making its way to the battle grounds while being lead on a chain by a silver scaled male. As it got closer, it was clear to see it stood about six foot five and was covered in white fur to resemble a wolf. When it came to a stop, it looked to measure around fourteen feet in length as it lowered down, stretched out its tail and snarled at the duo. The scaled man removed the chain and quickly made his way out of the combat zone.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSniLhN8Wmd
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlCXnsqmt3
Devion stood proudly beside the snarling beast and stroked its side. "Magnificent, isn't he? He did cost a good bit of coin but I think it was worth it."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xeknbCc18
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4B3M9YM53
The party stared in shock at the sight with some having their jaws dropped. "What in the world is that thing?" Faerthurin questioned while mentally noting the dragon horns on its head and the way its pupils narrowed similar to a dragons.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtwDXqN1jQ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECXJZh7e9p
Rose couldn't tear her gaze away while her mind went through all she knew about animals. "...I don't know. I can't remember anything that fits it completely." She scanned it over again to notice the spikes on the top of its tail and the talon looking claws. "The fur and claws are fitting for an arctic type wolf but the size and other features fit more with a dragon race." After a moment more, Rose lowered her head slightly and her tone of voice fell into one of great displeasure. "I don't think this creature was made naturally by nature."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnugDkILN6i
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7BvkZLYts
Faerthurin sighed and started using one of her skills. "I'll see then if there's anything I can figure out about it."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3fhZIUOvF
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla2FdzqKWG
On the battle grounds Devion patted the side of the beast. "Do you all like it? I call it Dragof, since that reflects both sides of him."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb40qSQTnP
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p6DQYdz6I
"What do you mean 'both sides of him'?" Oin asked firmly.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTb3T5o9UW
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZstG45Rya
"You'll find out," he glanced over towards the focusing dark elf, "sooner or later I would suspect." He smirked as her inspecting gaze turned into a glare upon him of disgust. "Now then, the rules are simple." He began as he set his sights on Oin and Amber. "There will be no magic allowed but natural skills are permitted."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLy2HN9O7f
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQTSqfvncB
"What?!" the shout erupted in unison from the bleachers with Kross having stood up with Ivan.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqWiHysDew
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHjeSKxV2w
"Hey!" Kross snapped, drawing Devion to look over calmly. "Why did you leave that part out when I asked earlier?!"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO2u2WGnbn
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkugRwfdGO
"You didn't ask about the rules. You simply asked about the battle grounds." The owner calmly stated with a smug shrug.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliZ1Ytq9T5
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexibqh5xa2
Kross growled with his jaw tense. "You knew exactly what I meant by that question."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ktwZAE2DK
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbpAQIJpuk
The dark elf rubbed the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed. "Kross, just sit down now. He's not worth your energy...not right now at least."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YCSG7nEdx
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8cCUq11QQ
"We can rub it in his face later when his little trick backfires." Rose added and looked over to a concerned Ivan. "You too. Amber will be fine." The two males slowly sat down displeased and worried.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr40XOKxa2
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPrWSBfjAx
Amber gulped nervous after hearing the 'no magic' rule. "I think we might be in trouble."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCfxkvq1vo
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwyGfDMuyr
"We'll get through this. We've gotten through fights before without using buffs and we will again." Oin calmly replied as he readied for battle.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZB3Xaqjle
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzX8GiLeAN
The owner gave his beast another stroke. "Have fun and you may have a tiny treat during this fight." He walked away from Dragof to stand outside of the columns. He lifted his hand into the air. "Ready?" his hand began to glow along with each column's carved symbols. "Begin!" simultaneously as his hand dropped with his words, magic shot from one column into the next, flashing at the end after the transparent walls had been set.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl852NQ9gXp
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsIMJ0RpWt
Once the fight began, Fae was glaring daggers at Devion with a deep frown on her face. Ivan and Rose looked away from the battle and at Faerthurin. "Um are you okay? You look more annoyed than normal." Ivan inquired.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwIB7viZfS
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCAzqNOgFa
"What have you found out Rin?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHzjZF0aoH
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlAtrmv8Yb
"That beast was not naturally made but was created by force." Faerthurin's tone was low as she tensely answered.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ctI7IPps0
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOdeKTe4B8
"By force? What do you mean?" Ivan questioned.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXP0kSdi1S
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavtdILSgPT
This talk soon grabbed Jeminya's ear. She turned left towards the trio. "What's this now about force?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4nF1n217m
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnFOdody1x
"I asked Rin if she could figure anything out about Dragof since I couldn't recall anything to pin down its species." Rose explained as Jeminya looked to her.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfO45rlEL3
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7ft3RfteM
Jeminya frowned and looked to Faerthurin. "Have you concluded what type of magic was involved?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqoPASALZT
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvjPe6jJ2N
Faerthurin nodded softly. "Someone used ritual magic to make that...thing."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBavmtZx3kF
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmjS74GuNs
"Well that's troubling as I thought ritual magic was banned." Jeminya stated while lightly folding her arms.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEl6ANBaj5
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfb7zV0Gpg
"Troubled?" Jalerom blinked as he turned around in his seat. "What's troubling? The fight just started and I think they can take it."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhRUZTeO9O
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBfOq7knoq
Ivan shook his head. "That animal was made using banned magic."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArbi6311v2
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgC195cwJM
The rogue turned his attention to Faerthurin. "What?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTCEAG6Sd4
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshbsqq9wnS
She took a breath and sighed. "Someone fused an arctic wolf and a dragon together using ritual magic. That type of practice was banned because most times those used were in a constant state of suffering." She set her orbs on Dragof. "It was seen as inhumane so was banned and those caught practicing it can be arrested, tried and jailed."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNsdvGm7tt

"That is definitely not a good thing." Jalerom turned his attention back to the battle. "But they should still be able to beat it, right? And maybe if it is in pain then we can put it out of its misery."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pjRdBnOxd

Rose tensed at hearing all this and her fingers curled into tightly gripped fists. Shiloh at her side quietly whined and nuzzled her as he placed his head into her lap. "I don't think I want us to work with this race anymore."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hHec3CWb2
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FcYQENxG3
"We don't have much of a choice. We need alliances to face my sister and have a better chance of not dying." Jeminya reminded.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbbO3PDz72
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZDH5TH0cJ
"I don't care!" Rose slightly snapped as she stared down the tiefling with anger. "They are going against nature and have caused two innocent creatures to become a monster, and for what? So they can make a profit."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7BPgzQCGE
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIn9vkiNjd
Ivan stood and moved closer, coming to sit between Rose and Jalerom. "Rose, I know it's not right but we need all the help we can get."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGACiVMmRw
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai1jfNb9xm
"There's no place we can send it so it can live happily if it isn't in pain. If it is in pain then it's just another creature needing to die needlessly because of human greed."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5hkTgToBA
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ0yr0i688
Kross lightly cleared his throat. "We don't even know if the yellow dragons were the ones who used that type of spell."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqvrjBlQo2
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M2CGvbDge
Jeminya nodded. "Kross is right. We don't know who used that spell so in the way of use, the yellow dragons could be in the clear."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvVsxOuB0N
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE57arFRAR5
"But in the court of knowingly buying a man-made creature? They are guilty as charged." Rose flatly stated.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoEtMzCs5P
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzxVTjdLFd
"Unless they didn't actually know." Kross muttered before turning his attention back to the fight.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN6k71oXwE
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizyJOSNrUc
Rose scoffed and began to pet Shiloh's head. "Oh they knew. There's no way they didn't know and they deserve no praise for it."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlxyzGINpP
